Define algorithm and flowchart in c programming?

Question

Define algorithm & flowchart in C programming: Explain what an algorithm is, its role in problem-solving, and how a flowchart visually represents the steps of an algorithm in C programming.

Umesh Sanjyal · Answer

An algorithm is a step-by-step set of procedure to perform a specific task or solve a particular problem.
It is written in plain language or pseudocode (not actual programming code).And it is utilize to create a solution that a computer can easily understand and execute .
Example:
Algorithm to add two numbers:

Start

Input the first number

Input the second number

Add the two numbers

Display the result

Stop

A flowchart is a pictorical representation of a program that visually represents the steps in a process or algorithm using symbols like arrows, ovals, rectangles, and diamonds.

Common Flowchart Symbols:Oval → Start or End

Rectangle → Process or Action Step

Parallelogram → Input or Output

Diamond → Decision (Yes/No)
